Space Between Words

every breath belaboured
every morning comes crashing down
can’t call it home
not anymore
can’t call it home
after what they’ve done
some of us never had a choice
so now we deal with the consequences
the price of survival
not every house is a home
try living with neither
a life spent each day wishing for belonging:
try to pull acceptance from the space between words
try to earn your meaning by keeping silent
some of us never had a choice
so now we deal with the consequences
the price of survival
the price of survival
the price of survival

Save the Sorrow

i wish you had the strength to walk away
instead you made it someone else’s problem
never admit that you’re the one to blame
just let it fester day after day
you should have known when it was time to say goodbye
you didn’t save the sorrow
you just passed it down the line
you should have known when it was time to say goodbye
you wounded everyone
then tried to justify
your lies
it’s never easy to know
nobody tells you how to deal with it
but when that love expires
the resentment becomes apparent
when there’s nothing left
the hopelessness and lack of desire
need more than a heartless smile
the love was dead before i knew what was wrong
now witness two broken lives
one too weak to say goodbye
the other hoping that it all will change
stagnant in this world that they both made
you should have known when it was time to say goodbye
you didn’t save the sorrow
you just passed it down the line
you should have known when it was time to say goodbye
you wounded everyone
then tried to justify
your lies
you didn’t save the sorrow
you just passed it on…
you should have known when it was time to say goodbye
you didn’t save the sorrow
you just passed it down the line
you should have known when it was time to say goodbye
you wounded everyone
then tried to justify
your lies

Curator

i will cut each memory
and strip them away
with each passing year
i will worship change
since tradition is nothing but damage here
would you believe me
if i told you it meant nothing
the memories we have
this link of you and me
and you can hide it, you can hate me, or run away
but i know it hurts all the same
you held on to every scrap and trace
these scrapbooks of memories
was it worth it to look back and see
nothing you kept can make you feel happy
just let it die
i don’t want answers
not anymore
i just want the courage to walk out the door
curator of our memories
try to find any trace of peace
don’t you remember?
you were right there with me
burn it all away
burn it all away
i don’t want answers
not anymore
i just want the courage to walk out the door
curator of our memories
try to find any trace of peace
don’t you remember?
you were right there with me

Push
03:57

it’s not easy to say goodbye
but it’s a lot harder to stay
we’re not much for words
and there’s not much to say
so say goodbye
say goodbye
one step too far
over the edge
one step too far
pushed away
it’s not easy to say goodbye
but it’s a lot harder to stay
the days pass, the more i realise
i’m just counting down the days
to say goodbye
say goodbye
one step too far
over the edge
one step too far
pushed away
so say goodbye
say goodbye
and live in the mess you made

rest rest rest your head
be quiet baby, silent as the dead
give me a little moment
don’t you know that I only want to love you?
conditions dictate our love
permissions never given
but i can never be sure of what i felt
these broken dreams stay in my vision
conditions dictate our love
permissions never given
and i can never tell, (no i can never tell)
should i cross the line?
will all of this just come to an end?
I'll thread my heartstrings
and play them like a lyre
i’ve nothing left to sing
but this loveless lullaby
sweet lies as offerings
to get you through the night
all wandering hearts will sing
this loveless lullaby
loveless lullaby
incisions on both our hearts
a decision you can live with
will i ever be sure that this is what i want?
how could it be anything but a given?
incisions on both our hearts
a decision you can live with
look inside yourself, (look inside yourself)
i was just a child
because of you this comes to an end
I'll thread my heartstrings
and play them like a lyre
i’ve nothing left to sing
but this loveless lullaby
sweet lies as offerings
to get you through the night
all wandering hearts will sing
this loveless lullaby
loveless lullaby
sing out your sadness darling
pour it out out your heart
the price of forgiveness i’ll bring
it’s all on you, it’s all on you
cuz it’s turned to madness darling
don’t deny your part
now that we’ve lived like this, it’s all on you
it’s all on you
rest rest rest your head
be silent as the dead
(silent as the dead)
I'll thread my heartstrings
and play them like a lyre
i’ve nothing left to sing
but this loveless lullaby
sweet lies as offerings
to get you through the night
all wandering hearts will sing
this loveless lullaby

Survivor's Guilt
03:25

it should have been my blood
the broken glass, the metal clashing
it should have been me
but i survived
to live a life
without you
i’d give anything
to bring back that day
and take your place
take your place
but it was you
and i could see
so far out of reach
it was you
but it should have been me
so many words i would have taken back
so many nights i chose to spend alone
without you
without you
i can see
what’s left of me
without you
i know it should have been me
it should have been my blood
the broken glass, the metal clashing
it should have been me
